EVERYTHING is political for Republicans.
They have no platform. They have nothing they stand for. No principles laid out on a platform.
All they are about is opposing Democrats. That's it.
Democrats have principles. They have a platform. They take positions on issues.
Republicans are all about image. They dodge critical questions with whataboutism. All they want to do is be the person to stir up hatred for Democrats, government, liberals, immigrants.
It's not about issues for Republicans. It is totally about getting poorly informed people angry at Democrats. They are only after the votes.
Democrats are issue-focused.
Republicans are emotion focused.
Republicans get votes because their voters are angry and afraid.
Democrats get votes by making the responsible tough choices on things that matter.
